The GefenToolbox Extender for HDMI 3DTV

The GefenToolBox Extender for HDMI 3DTV extends HDMI including multi­channel digital audio at resolutions of up to 1080 Full HD and 4K (4096 x 2160
@ 24Hz) up to 330 feet (100 meters) using one CAT-5e cable for the extension.
This product also provides an IR back channel to control AV sources using the
same CAT-5 cable extension. Using this channel with the built-in IR “eye” on the
receiver, or an optional RMT IR Extender, simply point IR remote(s) of the A/V
device towards the display to control Hi-Def sources as if they were located in the
same room or proximity to the display.

How It Works

Locate the GefenToolBox Extender for HDMI 3DTV Sender unit next to the video
source equipment. Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the source to the
Sender unit. The Receiver unit is located close to the display which can be up to
330 feet (100 meters) away from the Sender unit. The display plugs into the back
of the Receiver unit. For IR extension, either the Receiver should be located so
the internal IR “eye” can see the IR signals at the display location, or an external
Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIR IR Extender may be plugged into the Receiver and
located near the display. Connect a Gefen EXT-2IREMIT IR Blaster to the Sender
and locate the blasters near the source equipment. Only one CAT-5e cable
connects the Sender and the Receiver units to each other. Multi-channel digital
audio is embedded into the HDMI signal.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 3DTV

• CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters).

• Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded
(UTP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable.

• The Extender for HDMI 3DTV features the ability to generate compatible

EDID and Hot Plug signals for troubleshooting purposes when dealing with
difcult interfacing issues between Source devices and Displays. See pages

9 - 10 for details.

• HDCP content is not supported when the unit is in DVI mode. See page 10
for details.

NOTE: Shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity to
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from cell phones and A/C
motors.

CONNECTING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 3DTV

How to Connect the Extender for HDMI 3DTV

1. Position the Extender for HDMI 3DTV sender unit near the Hi-Def source and
the receiver unit next to the display. Connect the Hi-Def source to the sender
with the provided locking HDMI cable. Connect the HDTV display to the
receiver unit with an HDMI cable.

2. Connect the sender and receiver units together using a single user-supplied
CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables.

3. Connect a 5V DC locking power supplies to the sender unit. Connect a 5V

DC locking power supply to the receiver unit. Do not overtighten the locking
connectors. Plug the two power supplies to an available wall outlet. The
LED on both the Sender and Receiver will turn bright red, indicating that

both units are powered.

4. Power on the HDTV display and the Hi-Def source. A vibrant HDTV HD

picture will be seen, along with multichannel digital audio (if the display

supports audio).

NOTE: If terminating network cables in the eld, please adhere to
the TIA/EIA568B specication (see page 11).

NOTE: If the source and display support 3D then the Extender for
HDMI 3DTV will pass through the 3D signal.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

DIP Switch Location

On the bottom of the Extender for HDMI 3DTV Receiver unit there are four (4)
DIP switches.

The DIP switches allow advanced EDID management of the Extender for HDMI
3DTV which may be necessary when troubleshooting or using different brands of
hardware. The DIP switches allow control over the EDID and the HPD (Hot Plug
Detect) status.

Receiver Unit DIP Switches

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

DIP 1 - EDID Mode

ON (default) - External EDID Mode

• DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full

A/V capabilities of the display. The HPD status will also be detected by the
source device.

OFF - Internal EDID Mode

• Local EDID is used instead of the EDID from the display device. EDID
features newer than HDMI 1.3 are removed when the display is read. This
provides a general EDID which is compatible with more displays.

DIP 2 - Hot-Plug Detect

DIP switch 2 only works when DIP switch 1 is set to the OFF position.

ON - HPD Pass-Through

• HPD follows upstream HPD towards the source. The HPD signal will reect
the connection status between the display device and the source device. If
the source or display is temporarily disconnected then reconnected, there
will be a delay of 20 - 30 seconds before the A/V content is restored to the

display.

OFF (default) - HPD Always High

• The HPD signal remains high regardless of the downstream HPD state. If
the source or display device does not properly handle HPD (no picture after
connecting / reconnecting source or display), set this DIP switch to the OFF

position.

DIP 3 - Supports DVI Connections

ON

• Set DIP switch 3 to the ON position when using a DVI source or display.

HDCP content is not supported in this mode.

OFF (default)

• If HDMI is connected, set DIP 3 in the OFF position.

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The GefenToolbox Extender for HDMI 3DTV should be mounted vertically on

a wall or inside / outside a cabinet with wood / drywall screws as shown in the

diagram above. There should be an inch or two of clearance between the edges
of the unit and any walls or vertical surfaces to allow for enough clearance for
connection and disconnection of the HDMI cable.

For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. When installing, it is

recommended to use the center hole on a stud.
